Spring Clean Up

The Town of Gibsons’ Spring Clean-up program has begun. Coupons have been mailed to all homeowners with your residential utilities notice. These entitle you to take one load of “spring clean-up” items to the Gibsons Recycling Depot FOR FREE.

Instead of having one day to clean out your house and yard you will have three months to take advantage of this service. Coupons will be effective from June 1st to August 31st, 2015. This will enable all residents to take advantage of the program.This program ensures less waste goes to the landfill and more discards will be reused.

WHAT can I drop off?
Each household is limited to ONE truck load containing up to 450 kgs of acceptable items, including EPR items. A list of restricted items can be found on the back of the coupon or below. Restricted items include:

NO Gypsum

NO Freon (e.g. fridges, air conditioners, etc.)

NO Wood or construction waste

NO Vinyl/duroid/metal roofing, etc.

NO Bulk items (e.g. boats)

NO Heating oil tanks or propane tanks

NO Windows or doors

NO Fishing nets

NO tires

WHERE do I take it?

ARE YOU A TENANT?
........................DIDN’T GET A COUPON?
As coupons have been mailed to homeowners, renters with off-coast landlords may not receive a coupon.
